Qwertee review

These t-shirts were generously provided by Qwertee.

A fun bunch of people who produce fun limited edition t-shirts

for low prices. 

You must check out their site for a whole variety of quality

t-shirts for all ages and sexes.

But BEWARE only one t-shirt is available for only ONE day at a time

and when the countdown clock reaches zero there is one last chance

to purchase the uniquely designed t-shirt but when the day is over that 

particular t-shirt design is no longer available. So get in quick and get

your fun, uniquely designed shirt ( top artists and designers provide the 

artwork).

To make the offer even more tempting each excellent quality t-shirt

costs only £8.00 plus postage. Yes ONLY £8.00!!

So what are you waiting for, go and check out their website for

Souls of darkness review

Being an aspiring writer myself I take every opportunity to pour

over books, especially crime, sci-fi and horror. So when I got the 

chance to read and review this illustrated eBook 'Souls of Darkness

I simply jumped at the chance.

With winter upon us what better way is there to spend a late evening

than sitting in your favourite armchair next to a crackling fire, reading

this wonderful anthology of compiled short stories by three brilliant authors,

Louise Hunt, Damon Rathe and Kenneth Frank.

'Souls of Darkness' is a brilliant mixture of true-life terror, sci-fi horror and ghost

stories. The 15 short stories are all built around one particular theme 

'darkness within us', that results in a death or even a murder. Each story is

introduced by a small illustration to tempt and entice you into what may

follow in the next few pages.

Each story is tightly written, well paced and the descriptive narrative and the

dialogue bring each story and character to life. If you don't have the time or

the inclination to sit down and read a full length novel, then this book is the

ideal 'pick up and read' and would make a perfect gift for any family member

or friend who may be getting an eReader this Christmas.

Painting by Numbers by Tom Gillespie review

I was offered the chance to review this book 'Painting by Numbers' by the

author himself, Tom Gillespie and what an absolute pleasure it was.

Firstly the command of the English language throughout the book is first rate.

Combined with the detailed and descriptive narrative, every scene on every page

 come alive painting a clear image for the reader.

The whole book is intelligent and articulate. The lead character is so believable you can 

almost feel yourself being devoured by his obsessions and his search.

This book is a thoroughly enjoyable read. Mystery, obsession, suspense

are all here running through every page at a steady pace. All the 

key ingredients make you want to turn the page to find out where this

journey will take you.If you like the works of Dan Brown and Colin Dexter to 

name but two you will love this book.

But don't just take my word for it. Read it for yourselves, you won't

be disappointed.

You can purchase the book on amazon on
Kindle priced £1.99 saving you 75%

Spin Mania review and giveaway

We were very kindly sent this rather unique game to try out 

and review. Boy it was fun! But having a nine year old wipe

the floor with you playing this game.. well least said!

It does help to have a very steady hand, so as not

to drop the spinning plates off the plate 'spike' and good speed and 

co-ordination to get the plates onto the hidden stands as quickly as 

possible. It certainly keeps you on your toes or your knees, depending on

 where 'cruel' members of your family may decide to place the stands.

 I found myself under my desk several times and even on top of a book case.

 Of course having to beat your opponents' time adds to the challenge.

It was a bit of a culture shock for our young son to actually play

a game that didn't involve sitting in front a screen playing computer

type games. However it wasn't long before he got hooked to this game

and now there's no stopping him! It must be the competitive streak in him

as he wants to play this game 24/7. Which is lucky as the game is designed

for one or more players.

It is so refreshing to actually find a really fun game for kids and adults to play 

that doesn't involve sitting in front of a screen and this has to be in the top five

of family games to be played this Christmas.

You can find Drumond park on Twitter & Facebook

Kids take on a unique spinning,

   speeding, time trial challenge!

Thinking about that Christmas list, with kids in mind?  The new Spin Mania action game from

 Drumond Park (rrp £22.99) provides thrills and spills a-plenty, and is already popular – not 

just with both boys and girls, but all the family! Against the clock, players ‘spin-up’ three 

orange helicopter-like rotary plates one at a time, and transfer them to stands previously 

hidden by their opponents. The kids can make this tricky for mum, dad, nan or granddad, 

by placing the plate stands in hard to reach places, like under the table. The plates must still 

be spinning when the player stops the clock – then it’s the next person’s turn.

Players need not just steady hands, but a combination of eagle eyes and a good turn of speed

, as well! And if they want to make a real party of it, there’s plenty of scope for team challenges, 

too… you’ll soon have them all in a whirl – it’s Christmas crackers!

                For stockists visit www.drumondpark.com or call 01506 855577

And for all my wonderful followers we are hosting a giveaway
for you to own your very own Spin Mania so you too can enjoy
the fun with your children too.
